The Notations are a legendary soul group from Chicago known for their smooth harmonies and heartfelt lyrics that have spanned generations. Emerging in the late 1960s, they rose to fame through Curtis Mayfield’s Curtom Records, releasing timeless classics like “I’m Still Here,” “It’s Alright,” and “A New Day.” Rooted in the golden era of Chicago soul, their music continues to inspire fans worldwide.

Their recent resurgence is powered by a collaboration with artist-producer Edward “E-Dub” Rios and his boutique label, Silent Giant Entertainment. E-Dub envisioned bridging The Notations' legacy with the Chicano Soul movement while honoring their original fanbase. Together, they recorded new music and created the group’s first-ever visual catalog, bringing their soul sound to life through music videos.

“When I connected with The Notations, I saw a chance to honor their legacy and introduce their sound to a new generation,” says E-Dub. “Chicano Soul fans appreciate harmony and emotion—The Notations deliver both.”

Today, The Notations are reaching new audiences. Reposts from cultural icons like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube have helped introduce their music to younger listeners. In just five weeks, they gained over 400,000 monthly listeners, with a streaming audience largely aged 18–24.

Still active and evolving, The Notations continue to blend past and present—expanding their legacy, one record at a time.
